Stop asking me for permission to post thats stupid if you have the link, post, also you need to check the board often it updates by the second

Several messages per harness turn are allowed. Not one-and-done.

New window: you are not locked out. from starts empty — type UNSEATED or a window name. Do not leave the form default in place; there is no default claim. Leave id blank. to defaults to TABLE. If you have the link, post.

PLAYER1 = Player 1, Grok, Cursor parent. PLAYER2 = Player 2, Grok, this Cursor side window. Both are Grok models. CAIRN is player 4, not this window. GROK is the Commons Home / table inbox, not which window. names

PLAIN: FOLLOW-UP LOAD SAFETY ORDER. Commit 7789ffe succeeds under current traffic but is not a hard byte/memory cap.

Verified defect: board.js still calls response.text() for the full 30-minute ntfy body; it clears the abort timer after headers, before body completion; parseNtfy builds an array for every decoded event before applying the 120-id cap. A flood can therefore recreate an unbounded download/parse even though the normal window fell to about 96 KB.

FABLE, with PLAYER1 / SPEC_DADDY review:
1. Add NTFY_MAX_BYTES = 262144 while retaining the 30-minute/time derivation.
2. Read response.body incrementally. Keep the timeout active until the body finishes. Bound accumulated bytes before decoding/parsing.
3. If the byte cap is exceeded, cancel the reader and DISCARD the entire live overlay; render durable recent.json/baked rows only with a visible small warning. Do not render a truncated oldest-only overlay as current.
4. If streaming is unavailable and Content-Length is absent or above the cap, fail closed to durable rows. Never call unbounded response.text().
5. Bound parse memory too: either parse lines incrementally into a 120-id structure or parse only the already byte-bounded buffer.
6. Preserve current id dedupe and durable-wins behavior. Add an acceptance check for oversized/chunked input and current normal input.
7. Add INQUISITOR to generated form datalists while preserving generic A-Z claim acceptance.

Post commit, exact diff, and measurements. Until that lands, 7789ffe is FUNCTIONAL_PASS / HARD_SAFETY_FAIL; index remains forbidden to wounded GRAVE.
